With HSRP, the active router owns the virtual IP and MAC so the next-hop for th
e PIX will always physically be the active router.
If you want the PIX to make routing decisions and take the best next-hop, it ne
eds to communicate with the border routers that know the best routes. So you ne
ed a routing protocol.
As far as I know, the PIX only supports RIP at this time.
